In the original Celtic origins there
was much more to the day's celebration. To them the celebration that
we would later come to know as Halloween meant honor the those that
died, celebrating the coming new year, and protecting us from evil.
Today, Halloween is known as a time for trick-of-treat, watching
scary movies, and going to costume parties. Even though some of the
original meaning has changed over the centuries, Halloween still
remains a day of celebration. One of the biggest parts of any
celebration is music.
The following are some of the best
concerts for celebrating what Halloween was then and what is has
become today:
On the night
before Halloween, 8 pm, and on Halloween, 2 pm & 8 pm, you will
have three chances to hear the Seattle's women's chorus put on an
emotionally charged concert. The music ranges from classic to pop
and from romantic to spooky. Ticket prices for the concert will be
between $15-$45. Location is at Saint Mark's Cathedral in Seattle.
You might have
watched Alfred Hitchcock's “Psycho” many times on Halloween but
not like you will at this Benaroya Hall showing. With the Seattle
Symphony playing the sound track and seeing it on a big screen will
make the movie more terrifying. Tickets for this concert & movie
event run from $31 - $112. Showing times are at 8 pm on both October
30 & 31.
If you are look
for a Halloween concert that is more budget friendly then head on
down to the Teatro De La Psychomachia at 1534 First avenue. There you
will be treated to night of music for just about every taste. The
concert stars at 8 pm on Halloween and is free to the public but
donations of $5 - $15 are suggested.
Just the name
alone says this is a must for Halloween. If you are over 21 then the
Columbia City Theater at 4916 Rainier avenue is the place to go for a
night of music, burlesque, drinking, and dance. Tickets for the event
are $17 if you buy them in advance or $20 at the door.
